Digital BW, The Print

Steve, there's no universal dislike for glossy. 

Many on this forum personally find it attractive...and like it or not,
many MUST use glossy for certain clients (eg model headshots, band
publicity,  press kits etc. 

I think it's worthwhile to remember that some printers, the
essentially-discontinued 1280 and the still-current 2200 and 4000 for
example, are simply not built for glossy printing, though obviously
some folks work hard to produce glossy with them. 

Happily there are alternative printers that are designed for glossy,
...they make glop interesting but ultimately not very worthwhile,
especially since glop doesn't help the printers do the job for which
they were designed (color and/or B&W).
